OPERATION

KNOW YOUR SPRAYER

Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your sprayer.

Compare the illustration below with your sprayer to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations.

ON-OFF PUMP SWITCH

Turns the pump motor on or off.

ADJUSTABLE SPRAY GUN NOZZLE

Adjusts the spray from a cone shaped ﬁ ne mist to a straight stream.

PRESSURE GAUGE

Indicates the system operating pressure.

BYPASS VALVE

Controls the operating pressure of the boom or spray gun.

ON-OFF BOOM VALVE

Turns the boom nozzles on or off.

BEFORE STARTING

•

It is important

to test the boom and spray gun with

plain water before using chemicals. This will enable

you to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray

pattern and nozzle pressure. If a leak should occur,

thread tape may be used to better seal the leaking

ﬁ tting.

HOW TO USE YOUR SPRAYER

BEFORE STARTING

It is important

to test the boom and spray gun with plain

water before using chemicals. This will enable you to

check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray pattern

and nozzle pressure. If a leak should occur, thread tape

may be used to better seal the ﬁ tting.

ON-OFF SWITCH

This switch is connected in line to the wiring assembly and

is used by the operator to turn the pump motor on or off.

PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH

The pump is equipped with a pressure switch. The

pressure switch senses outlet pressure of the pump

and will turn off the electrical power to the pump at a

predetermined high pressure point (60 PSI). If the ﬂ ow

demand is very low, the pump may reach this high

pressure point and the switch will cause "cycling" (the

pump cycles on and off rapidly). This is not a problem

unless the pump is subject to continuous cycling within

one second intervals for long periods of time.

ADJUSTING OPERATING PRESSURE

The sprayer is equipped with a "Y" ﬁ tting containing

a bypass valve and a boom valve. The bypass valve

controls the ﬂ ow to the return (bypass) hose. The

amount of ﬂ ow through the return hose determines the

operating pressure when the boom or the spray gun is

in use. Adjust the bypass valve while either the boom or

the spray gun is in use to obtain the desired pressure,

indicated by the pressure gauge. The tip chart on page

9 shows how different pressure settings affect boom

application rates.

ON-OFF ADJUSTMENT OF BOOM NOZZLES

The boom valve on the "Y" ﬁ tting controls ﬂ ow to the

boom nozzles. It should be either completely open or

completely closed. The boom operating pressure can be

controlled using the bypass valve on the "Y" ﬁ tting.

ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN NOZZLE

Turn the nozzle on the spray gun to adjust the spray from

a cone shaped ﬁ ne mist to a straight stream. Control

the spray gun operating pressure with the bypass valve

on the "Y" ﬁ tting. Maximum spray gun pressure can be

attained when the boom is shut off.

SETTING THE BOOM FOR SPRAYING

The correct positioning of the boom places the nozzles

approximately 40" apart and 14" above the ground. This

gives a spray width of approximately 80" with a slight

center overlap. See ﬁ gure 11.

a. Slide the boom bars out to the ends of the

slots.

b. Swivel the boom bars until the nozzles are

approximately 14" above the ground.

c. Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the

openings point straight down.

CAUTION:

GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE CLOTH ING

WHEN HAN DLING AND WORK ING WITH

LAWN CHEM I CALS.

USING THE SPRAYER

1. Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000

sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical

manufacturers recommendations. Use this rate to help

select the pressure setting and tractor speed in the

following instructions.

2. Determine the approximate square footage of the

area to be sprayed and estimate the number of

gallons required. This can help avoid unneeded

solution left in the tank.

3. Determine the appropriate speed at which to travel,

based on the chosen pressure setting and the

recommended application rate. Use the tip chart on

page 9.

4. To determine the throttle setting for attaining the

appropriate speed, mark off 100, 200 and 300 feet

intervals. The speed chart at the bottom of page 9

indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel

these distances. Set the throttle and, with a running

start, travel the distances in the number of seconds

indicated by the speed chart. Once you have

determined the throttle and gear settings needed,

mark the throttle location so that you can easily

resume the same speed after stopping.

5. Set the operating pressure. Spray with plain water to

help determine the best setting. For best results stay

in the 20 to 30 PSI range. (At 10 PSI the spray pattern

begins to break up, at 40 PSI some drift develops.)

Refer to the tip chart on page 9.

6. Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the

product instructions.

7. Drive to the starting place for spraying. Set the boom

in position for spraying. Set the throttle at the position

determined in step 4. Flip the sprayer's in-line switch

to the "ON" position to start spraying.

8. Stay clear of ﬂ owers, shrubs and evergreen trees

when spraying weed control solutions to prevent

contact of the solution with these sensitive plants.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

• Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.

STORAGE

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

• Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special

at ten tion to the pump and handgun. These items

are es pe cial ly prone to damage from chemicals and

freez ing weather.

• The sprayer should be winterized before storage by

pump ing a 50-50 solution of water and R. V. an ti freeze

through the entire plumbing. Proper care and

main te nance will prolong the life of the sprayer.

IMPORTANT:

Do not

allow chem i cals to sit in pump for

extended times of idleness. Some chemicals will damage

the pump valve if allowed to soak un treat ed for a length

of time. Al ways ﬂ ush the pump with water after each use.

Follow the procedures in the Maintenance section for

ﬂ ushing and disposal.

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

•

Before each use make a thorough visual check of

the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have

loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

FLUSH THE TANK

• Remove any solution left in tank. Fill the sprayer part

way with water, start the sprayer and allow clear water

to be pumped through the plumbing system and out

through the boom assembly and the handgun. Use

the hand gun to thoroughly wash all internal parts of

the tank, the outside of the tank and the boom.

• Reﬁ ll the tank about half full with plain water and

a chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning

in struc tions above. Flush the entire sprayer with the

neu tral iz ing agent. Follow the chemical man u fac tur ers

instructions for disposal of all wash or rinsing water.

CLEANING THE STRAINERS

• At least once a season, clean the strainer in the end

of the intake hose at the bottom of the tank. Re move

the nylon swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen

and ﬂ ush it with clear water.

• At least once a season, clean the strainers in the

boom noz zles. Remove the nozzle, pull out the screen

and ﬂ ush it with clear water.

LUBRICATION

•

Apply a few drops of oil to the wheel hubs at least

once a year.
